Kingston debuts HyperX Genesis RAM

Kingston Technologies has launched a new line-up of RAM for Intel's latest CPUs. Making up part of the HyperX Genesis line, these newly designed Sandy Bridge E and X79-compatible modules are available in anything from 8GB to 32GB kits.

"Our latest HyperX offerings are specifically made to maximise performance in Intel's new Core i7-3960X or -3930K processors with quad-channel memory support," Stephane Rizzetto, product development manager of DRAM at Kingston said in a press release.

The largest 32GB kit will contain eight 1600MHZ DIMMs, with smaller variants of 16GB and 8GB capacities being made up of four sticks each. Prices will range from £39 all the way up to £190, with the cost of the highest-performing kit still to be announced. Default voltages across the line-up will be 1.65V, and other frequency variants will be available, running from 1333MHZ all the way to 2400MHZ.

These new modules will be added to the existing line-up of Genesis sticks, though the official product page for the line makes no mention of quad-channel kits at the moment. Current modules are available in single-, dual- and triple-channel offerings, with the largest kits available maxing out at 24GB. If you're looking for a RAM-heavy upgrade for your system, it's probably best to hold fire until these new DIMMs are available.
